$50 and under modifications

NitroDatsik · February 21, 2017

Things I done to my truck for $50 and under, including things I already owned so I spent $50 or less to complete. You can check out my YouTube channel or instagram for more pics on this.

1. Wireless charging on front arm rest seat.

2. Footwell and steps lighting

3. Driver assist handle.

4. Led pods as fog lights

5. Led flush mount backup led pods

6. Grill flush mount led pods

7. Switchback leds on turn signals and leds for lights over the truck.

8. ANDROID TABLET Nexus 7 as head unit. Only needed paint for this mod, as I had extra head units and all the materials.

9. Bluetooth Steering wheel control for the nexus 7.

10. 30ft tow strap

11. Custom Decepticon under seat storage box with leds

12. EBay seat covers

Many more mods I can't think of right now, everything on the cheap.

I'm looking at PlastiDipping my bowties, and still debating on doing my rims. Will I only need to clean the surfaces that I want to "dip" or do I need to rough it up?

Waymon, where did you get your phone holder? How did you get it to stay in the pocket?

It's just a suction cup window mount. I snagged it off of Groupon a few years ago. The suction part was junk so I cut it off.

To make it stay I trimmed both edges down to flat edges so they would wedge in the back of the pocket. The pocket is tapered. You just wedge it back there real good. Doesn't move or make noises. Took a day or so to settle in but it's solid now.

Cleaning it with soapy water then rubbing alcohol to remove any remaining oils. No sanding. Mines still perfect 10 months later

Just clean them and make sure they are dry. Tape them off nice and then spray light coats of plastidip. My emblem was about 8 light coats

What process did you use to install yours? I'm looking at doing two of these, definitely one, at 2x12.

Went to Lowes, had them cut it to length, and tossed it in the slots. Under $5 and 5 minutes.

I want to say it was 62 or 64 inches, can check if you need me to.

I had that in my 03 WT. however I screwed mine down to a piece of particle board and velcrod it to the floor.

If you are going to plastidip your rims make sure you watch a few YouTube videos and do it correctly. Make sure you put on several Coates. I bought a set of gm rims on Craigslist that had plastidipped but the guy put it on too thin. When I went to remove the plastidip so I could redo it the areas it was sprayed thin did not peel off. I had to use a pressure washer and paint thinner to get it off the rims.

I can measure it. My lower corners seem to be rounded in the bed, I may have to sand them some to get them to fit.

i cut the bottom corners at 45 degrees in order to get it to lay flat on the bed.

Make it "deluxe" with some hooks and bungee cords.

Ok so the new cap wasn't $50 but the LED license plate lights and High output LED reverse lights were under $50 and really bring the truck together. I'm not sure why GM cheaps out on the reverse & license plate bulbs when the rest of the truck is LED ?

Also please ignore the truck looking like a mess, roads are a mess here .

HA, I haven't washed mine since October. Dealership washes it for free each time I get my oil changed (Nov & last week), they do a decent job. Grabbing new headlight bulbs later this morning, watched one die about halfway to work tonight, and some LED exteriors.
